Livestock grazing impact differently on the functional diversity of dung beetles depending on the regional context in subtropical forests
Abstract The replacement of native forest by cattle pastures reduces functional diversity; however, little is known about whether the changes depend on regional variation. Dung beetles are one of the most diverse and functionally important taxa; through organic matter burial, dung beetles improve so...
